I bought an MX 5000 (aka Ergo Plus) back when I had no idea who Cherry was or what the phrase "mechanical keyboard" meant. I just wanted an adjustable split keyboard that wasn't too exotic. Decades later, it's still serving me well.
Over the years, I've learned about the vintage[1] brown switches inside and why I find them so comfortable, what n-key rollover is and how important it has been to my gaming sessions, and why this thing continues to work after all this time. What a great purchase it turned out to be. Too bad this model was discontinued long ago.
[1] Apparently the brown switches in this keyboard are not the same as those sold today.
